What is an overactive bladder?
An overactive bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. Overactive bladder causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency), even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine.
Overactive bladder is also referred to as urge incontinence and is a form of urinary incontinence (unintentional loss of urine). Another common type of urinary incontinence is called stress incontinence, which is caused by anatomic weakness in the structures that prevent the bladder from leaking. In general, urinary incontinence is more common in women compared to men.
Although it can happen at any age, overactive bladder is especially common in older adults. Overactive bladder affects an estimated one in 11 adults in the United States. Overactive bladder, however, should not be considered a normal part of aging.

Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Detrol (tolterodine) LA is a drug that reduces spasms of the bladder muscles. Tolterodine is used to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. It is taken orally in tablet form. Side effects can include dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, constipation or diarrhea; stomach pain or upset; or joint pain. Other side effects can include.
There are no studies of tolterodine in pregnant women, so Detrol LA should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit for the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether tolterodine is excreted in human milk; therefore, Detrol should not be administered during nursing.
Our Detrol LA Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases, and condition.
